Jalapeño Poppers
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Jalapeños
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, bacon bits, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stuff the Peppers
Spoon the cheese mixture into each halved jalapeño, filling them generously.
Bake
Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is slightly golden.
Serve with Ranch Dressing
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
